The incomparable @DalyDoseOfHoops joined me for Ep 5 of the https://t.co/gBvz6a0w36 podcast, as we took an early look at the upcoming MAAC season. We also talked @HeatCheckIona, and now we know why Jaden writes about hoops and doesn't coach! https://t.co/OiIzmw8kNh (5/10)

@IonaGuyF The master plan blew up in our faces. That’s mid-major basketball.

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Thanks for the spoiler. The season comes to a disappointing end at 18-11, and @IonaGuyF may or may not be wanted for murder by the end of the night.

@HeatCheckCBB MAAC Tournament results. Round 1 Monmouth 73-Niagara 60. Round 2- Monmouth 78-@HeatCheckSim_SP 72. MAAC Final Quinnipiac 82-Monmouth 77. We came up just short of our NCAA Tournament goal but had a great season. 23-8 (SOR 98) 4th in the nation in scoring.

[Marc @CoachMarcHutch]

@HeatCheckIona Agreed, but it’s ALWAYS a marquee matchup no matter the circumstances

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

As you said, it’s the one before everyone probably wanted us to see each other.

[Marc @CoachMarcHutch]

@HC_JoeLunardi gives the SIM Hawks an 11% chance of winning the MAAC tournament. All 👀 will be on a potential semifinal matchup with @HeatCheckIona (assuming the SIM Hawks can take down 6 seed Niagara). 3 more wins and we dance!

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

@hoopsnut351 @SimPoshJastner Is this 4/13 matchup allowed? We already played each other in the regular season, not that I’d mind a rematch...

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Three wins. That’s all we need. #ICMBB

MAAC tourney odds:

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

@IonaGuyF I thought it was moved to AC. How else do you explain Rider getting back-to-back 1 seeds?

#GaelNation is also proud to announce its newest recruit. Join us in giving a warm welcome to James “Jimbo” Delaney!

A seven-foot center from New Kensington, Pa., just across the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh, Jimbo brings Steel City toughness and size to our program. #ICMBB

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

We begin the #MAACHoops tournament as the No. 2 seed, opening against No. 7 seed Saint Peter’s. Either Monmouth or Niagara awaits in the semis should we win, then Rider, Fairfield, Quinnipiac or Manhattan on the other side of the bracket.

Three wins. That’s all we need. #ICMBB

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Our final regular season stretch:
Beat Manhattan, 75-55
Lost to Marist, 74-67
Lost to Quinnipiac, 74-69
Beat Monmouth, 69-68
Beat Fairfield, 68-65

We conclude the regular season 18-10, and 13-3 in #MAACHoops play, but there’s more to come. Keep fighting the good fight. #ICMBB

@VillanovaHCCBB Let’s close this stretch drive out the only way we know how!

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Lost to Manhattan, 73-70
Beat Saint Peter’s, 59-47
Beat Quinnipiac, 82-65

Fight the good fight, #GaelNation! #ICMBB

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

We already have next season ready to go, so yeah.

[Heat Check Patrick Ewing @EwingHeat]

Quick question- if my fellow #HeatCheckSIM coaches had to set seven game non-conference scheduled could we do it in 48 hours. I say yes

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Hmmm...#2BidMAAC maybe?

[Marc @CoachMarcHutch]

@HeatCheckCBB Monmouth is now riding an 8 game winning streak and sits at 13-3 (4-0 in the MAAC) with a Strength of Record at 101. Monmouth continues to chase @HeatCheckIona for SIM MAAC supremacy.

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

Among the games in our next stretch: Welcoming this guy into the Hynes Center. Our Top 30 defense gets its toughest guard yet trying to stop the third-best offense in the nation.

Let’s get it on. #ICMBB

[Marc @CoachMarcHutch]

@HeatCheckCBB Monmouth 73-Canisius 62. Never an easy trip out to Buffalo, but the SIM Hawks capped off a perfect 4-0 conference start up there. Vaughn continued to score in bunches with 21, Edelin had 15/6 and Klemm added a dozen.

[Iona Men’s Basketball (Heat Check Sim) @HeatCheckIona]

We wake up this morning 10-7, winners of 8 of our last 9 and owners of a 5-0 start in #MAACHoops play. A recap:
Beat Saint Peter’s, 75-57
Beat Rider, 71-66
Beat Siena, 75-56
Beat Niagara, 71-62
Beat Canisius, 74-51

Iona Gaels basketball. Back in the New York Groove. #ICMBB
